i fixed an old mod i published on steam years ago.

i randomly got a ping on a workshop item for tabletop simulator that i hadn’t touched in aaages. in 2019, someone in my friend group had the idea to replicate the TechDif “Two of these people are lying” format, so i hacked together writeable and shuffleable note cards we could use to play online. a week or so ago i got a ping on that item, it was someone asking if they could ask me a question (never ask to ask, kids). this made me realize that it had hundreds of downloads, which made me a bit self-conscious about the code. looking at the other comments, i found some years old feature requests which i stayed up all night implementing.

the most interesting part (or gross, depending on your pov) was the request to make a card read-only. there’s no way to mark a text entry box as read-only, but i found out that they are only interactable on one side. so i added a toggle that rotates the text box so the back side faces up, and sets the scale to -1 which mirrors the whole thing.

learn kakoune or helix, become even more entrenched.

i vastly prefer the object-verb keybinds to vim’s verb-object, but now i can’t even find bindings for other editors so i’m permanently stuck now

we get those in spades, they’re just all 5v5 hero shooters with moba elements

have you tried BallisticNG? very similar feel imo.

we got a modern revival of the neverhood in Armikrog., and it sucked :(

i want the Just Cause series to continue on from the second installment but instead of focusing on the movement, focus on the world building and setpieces. the plot in JC2 is completely batshit insane and ends in a fistfight atop a speeding ICBM. they kinda just forgot about that part in the sequels in favor of adding tornado guns or whatever.

i think that’s sort of the whole point. i mean the dev is called Neognosis. though i can definitely see how that could be unsettling if you’re intimately familiar with the franchise, which i am not.

i had the pc version of 2097 as a child and i could never get the hang of it. too technical for a 9-year-old i guess. so i never really had any nostalgia for the specifics, i just saw Ballistic on sale and thought “hey that looks like wipeout, I wonder if they still have that weird floaty feel”. it does feel like i remember, and after spending some time with it i really enjoy it even though i’m still no good 25 years later.

also they did add go-karts so it’s not entirely plagiarized ;)

so basically, the scenario is “the bus driver is a bad driver and the people in cars are not bad drivers”. seems a bit situational.

never heard that before. one can easily train their own model on just a single celeb’s face (since there are usually so many pictures of a given celeb) and use that on their own machine.

we used to hold pong tournaments at uni, using a circuit-accurate simulator of the original hardware and home-made replica paddles. really got the crowds going.
